Comprehensive and Core Networks
The Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) is a planned network of roads,
railways, airports and water infrastructure in the European Union. The TEN-T
network is part of a wider system of Trans-European Networks (TENs), including
a telecommunications network (eTEN) and a proposed energy network (TEN-E or
Ten-Energy). The European Commission adopted the first action plans on trans-
European networks in 1990.[1]
TEN-T envisages coordinated improvements to primary roads, railways, inland
waterways, airports, seaports, inland ports and traffic management systems,
providing integrated and intermodal long-distance, high-speed routes. A decision to
adopt TEN-T was made by the European Parliament and Council in July 1996.
[2]
The EU works to promote the networks by a combination of leadership,
coordination, issuance of guidelines and funding aspects of development.

These projects are technically and financially managed by the Innovation and
Networks Executive Agency (INEA), which superseded the Trans-European
Transport Network Executive Agency (TEN-T EA) on 31 December 2013. The
tenth and newest project, the Rhine-Danube Corridor, was announced for the
2014–2020 financial period.[3]

History
[edit]
TEN-T guidelines were initially adopted on 23 July 1996, with Decision No
1692/96/EC[2] of the European Parliament and of the Council on Community
guidelines for the development of the trans-European transport network. In May
2001, the European Parliament and the Council adopted a Decision No
1346/2001/EC,[4] which amended the TEN-T Guidelines with respect to seaports,
inland ports and intermodal terminals.

In April 2004, the European Parliament and the Council adopted Decision No
884/2004/EC (added to the list by Decision No 884/2004/EC[5]), amending Decision
No 1692/96/EC on Community guidelines for the development of the trans-
European transport network. The April 2004 revision was a more fundamental
change to TEN-T policies, intended to accommodate EU enlargement and
consequent changes in traffic flows.[6]

The evolution of the TEN-T was facilitated by a proposal in 1994 which included a
series of priority projects.[7]

In December 2013, with the Regulations (EU) 1315/2013 (TEN-T Guidelines), and
(EU) 1316/2013 (Connecting Europe Facility 1), the TEN-T network has been
defined on three levels, the Comprehensive network and the Core network, and
therein the 9 Core network corridors.

On 17 October 2013, nine Core network corridors (instead of the 30 TENT Priority
projects) were announced.[8] These were:

1. the Baltic–Adriatic Corridor (Poland–Czechia/Slovakia–Austria–Italy);


2. the North Sea–Baltic Corridor (Finland–Estonia–Latvia–Lithuania–Poland–
Germany–Netherlands/Belgium);
3. the Mediterranean Corridor (Spain–France–Northern Italy–Slovenia–
Croatia–Hungary);
4. the Orient/East–Med Corridor (Germany–Czechia–Austria/Slovakia–
Hungary–Romania–Bulgaria–Greece–Cyprus);
5. the Scandinavian–Mediterranean Corridor (Finland–Sweden–Denmark–
Germany–Austria–Italy);
6. the Rhine–Alpine Corridor (Netherlands/Belgium–Germany–Switzerland–
Italy);
7. the Atlantic Corridor (formerly known as Lisboa–Strasbourg Corridor)
(Portugal–Spain–France);
8. the North Sea–Mediterranean Corridor (Ireland–UK–Netherlands–Belgium–
Luxembourg–Marseille(France),
9. the Rhine–Danube Corridor[9] (Germany–Austria–Slovakia–Hungary–
Romania with branch Germany–Czechia–Slovakia);
In July 2021, with the Regulation (EU) 2021/1153 (Connecting Europe Facility 2),
the 9 Core network corridors were extended, partially significantly (e.g. Atlantic,
North-Sea Baltic, Scand-Med) while the North Sea-Med because of Brexit has
changed to Ireland–Belgium-Netherlands and Ireland–France.
